A series RC circuit with battery, switch, resistor, and capacitor.
A series RC circuit with battery, switch, resistor, and capacitor.
A series circuit contains an ideal battery of electromotive force \(\mathcal{E}\), an open switch \(S\), a resistor of resistance \(R\), and an uncharged capacitor of capacitance \(C\), as shown in the diagram. At time \(t = 0\), switch \(S\) is closed. Which of the following correctly pairs the current through the circuit immediately after the switch is closed (\(t = 0^+\)) and a long time after the switch is closed (\(t \to \infty\))?
